The installations we make use traditional tight wire methods combined with things we have learned from arborists and rock climbers, a network of riggers and other long wire walkers, and a nearby engineer.  We have drawn inspiration from the pulley systems of Leonardo da Vinci that we saw in Venice, from the tensegrity concepts of Buckminster Fuller,  from the precision of the words and syntax of Emily Dickinson, from the ephemeral creations of Andy Goldsworthy, from the playfulness and imagery of Juan Miro, and the attention to joy and beauty we saw in Christo’s works.
